Proper job title & career path for what i do

Hey All,
I need to know the proper job title & career path of what i do:
My job title for time being is Database Administrator
No. of experience years: 10
What i do:
I'm doing many tasks related to Database administration for (Oracle, syabse & SQL server) and in addition I'm responsible for building new environments (Starting from installing servers by operating systems and ending by installing, configuring bussiness applications).
Also I'm giving support to about 250 employees (Database + OS + B. applications)

So, could anyone tell me what is the proper job title and career path for what i do?

Installing the server and os is more of a server admin/network admin job. As you work for larger companies these roles get segregated. I personally like being network/system/db admin so I work for a smaller company. I wouldn't be happy just doing db admin all day, however because of that I rely on friends that specialize in these roles when I need to do highly advanced things.

My best advice is to ask yourself how you want to spend your day. Make up a title. Look backwards and make a path.

hey guys,
Thanks for your replies. I actually love what i do but the problem is that i feel that my job title is not suitable with what i do. Also i need to know i need to know the career path for this Job!

Highfive is so simple that setting up every meeting room takes just minutes and every employee will be able to start or join a call from any room with ease. Never be called into a meeting just to get it started again. This is how video conferencing should work!

Well one usual career path is from general to specific. So you could choose to stick with network, hardware, os, or db.

Another path is management. You hire someone under you to do one or more of your tasks. You end up running a department of specialists.

Another is to stay general but specialize in certain equipment. This is similar to what I did, I can run a smb pretty well. I know sonicwall, netgear, Acronis, retrospect, kerio, vmware etc... All smb gear in all areas. I don't know cisco, juniper, exchange, clustering, hot offsite, etc... This stuff is only used in larger companies.

Thanks aarontomosky, got it about career path.
I like to complete as technical guy, but as you can see, my time is not fully dedicated to database administration, therefore I need a suitable title that represents what I do.
Is there any title that combine all these tasks?
Thanks
